As a resident of the Holnicote Estate I can confirm the beaver project is a complete scam, beavers are in controlled captivity in a tiny enclosure, trees are protected with wire or their trunks sprayed to stop them being felled, the enclosure is next to the river, not on it, so the dams don't affect the flow of the river. National trust are becoming the national miss-trust with this sort of advertising.

Really loved watching this - thank you.
Our pleasure!
